    For all his negative attributes, Ward is an intelligent man

    The Beterbiev IBF fight was on the imminent horizon, soon enough Dre would have to fight him or pull a Canelo and drop the belt at his feet

    And so, he retires

    ***** move as expected, but one that ensured most wont accuse him of ducking

    Beterbiev KO Ward via retirement

    Let's face it Ward is a joke. The same kind of corruption that screwed Golovkin saw the farcical refereeing in W v K 2. World boxing needs to find a new centre away from American corruption.

    Ward was planning on giving Beterbiev a right ball-acking, but then the thought crossed his mind that Artur might be one of those guys that will return the favour. Andre then discovered that there are no cup guards made from 5mm steel, so, having no way to beat Beterbiev, he retired.

    Virgil Hunter showed Ward a Beterbiev highlight video on YouTube, Ward called it quits right then and there

    Same thing was said about Kovalev. Ward doesn't need to prove anything by fighting Beterbiev. If Beterbiev was such a tough customer then he should have had Kovalev's position and he would have been the one Ward fought instead.

    Rumor is that Ward is moving to Africa , because he is scared that Mr Beterbviev will find him and make him squeal like the Joker did to Mayweather . Beterbiev said i know the squealer's heres my card.

    He cleaned out two divisions facing the best in each one, I don't think it's worth waiting around for the IBF and the WBC those guys are nothing compared to Ward.
